i hear, Bar Magen. so fax that over to Rav Shmuel. honestly? i’m not against Lipa or his concert. but if a Gadol says “no” then for me it’s “no.” if that Rav changes his mind – kol a hakavod.
jfem – you’re right. (first of all – thank for clarifying. i hope that’s not how people view our Gedolim.) and yes, you can ask your Rav (like i ask mine) when you have a question. if he has a question he goes to another Rav, right? so why are we- regular people- above that? but if your Rav disagrees with the Gedolay hador – there’s nothing wrong with asking him about that! (obviously in a respectful way.)
and btw it’s not muttar to go against a p’sak from our Rabbonim. so yeah, there may be just a few sins involved.
and feivel: this capitalization business is driving me nuts.
